all things free

This is perhaps a little random, but I think our school building looks kinda like a bunker. Almost all our time in class is spent down in the basement, other than in anatomy lab! Speaking of that, we had a power outage during our last anatomy lab while we were dissecting out the kidneys. Best time ever for a power outage. >_> But we prevailed and our brains are all intact.

This is the story of the past week-and-a-half-ish. I have not paid for a single meal this week. I haven’t paid for a single meal, but I haven’t been eating at home very much either. Why and how is this, you ask? A collection of free lunches/dinners/leftovers that basically equate to the fact that I need not buy groceries until next year unless I want to.
-Lunch (gourmet subs)
-Dinner “#1” (salad, bread, boneless salmon with dill sauce, lemon chicken, pasta, roasted potatoes, green beans, chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate, mousse, assorted fruits)

Since there were so many leftovers, I basically had free lunch, dinner, and study fuel for the next two days, along with enough salad to last me til the end of next week

I’ll be including pictures of most of the highlights, along with some random things. :O

My shirt! :D!

This is my favorite picture in the entire graduate school building. :D <3 that look of contentment.

Technically speaking, I don’t gamble, but I learned how to play Texas Hold’em two weeks ago (and managed to be among the final three in our “tournament.” This is sheer luck because I bet all my chips without even looking at my cards). Anyway, amongst one of the free dinners (to welcome our new dean), they had Casino Night, and we each got $400 in chips to play, so I figured…why not? It’d cost me nothing. From $400, I ended up with $1865, thus landing me in 3rd place for winnings, so I got a $25 gift card to Macy’s. ;) Hells yes!

One of them free lunches! They’re leftovers from dinner the night before, but it included all kinds of awesomeness.

This is the salad bowl I mentioned. My backpack is in the background for reference. I had 1.25 bowls’ worth of this salad to bring home. <3
